Mr. Stubbs, the gator with a prosthetic tail
Nine years ago, this 7-foot alligator arrived at the Phoenix Herpetological Society with his tail missing.
With the help of Dr. Justin Georgi from Midwestern University and Dr. Marc Jacofsky from Core Inst., he now has a prosthetic tail and is walking and swimming again.

Constructing Mr. Stubbs' new tail
The new tail originally came with a floatie to help Mr. Stubbs learn to use it properly. Staff at PHS believe his tail was most likely bitten off by another alligator.
